my favorites are big dig, auto rhythms and drifting off...last week I got the new Cloudburst and Brig and today arrived an El Capistan...can't wait to mix and match with my Roland Super JX-10 and Juno-6 🤗
It is true. But mate to be honestly, having had a mobius for 4 yrs now, unfortunately rotary isnjust useless for so many iccasions because it often does not fit and it just worsens your clean sound... rotary was the thing i was most hyped for mobius but the thing I donnot use too often now But also thats just me, if you like it go for it the heck because in some scenarios its outstanding. And I like it a LOT when I use it with organ sounds from digital piano, as expected
@@strymon Ah. OK. Makes more sense now. Left to right would have been the opposite of how I run it, so good to know.👍🏼 I bought Clouburst, and it is truly amazing…even PAIRED with my BigSky. Love its straight-forward controls.
Thanks for this question, Alex! BigSky IS available as a plugin right now. You can check it out by downloading a free trial here: www.strymon.net/product/bigsky-plugin/
It's a long story that has to do with international tax law. You can buy the plugin from a number of different dealers outside the US - just hit the dealer page and choose your fave place: www.strymon.net/plugin-dealers/
I am excited for what other pedals might be coming in this slimmer form factor - although I don't quite understand why the Cloudburst is a few milimeters smaller in length. Is there a clever a reason I haven't thought of?
I need the big box multi voice pitch shifter harmonizer whammy delay first 😂😂😂 And I would love some orchestral verb So this concept plus orchestral, flute, ...
Thanks for your comment, David. Cloudburst is actually a bit smaller in all dimensions, including having a slightly lower profile than our two-footswitch pedals. This form factor felt balanced and right to us for this product. 🙂
Question: I just set up Cloudburst last in chain, as follows: Iridium>Collider>Cloudburst. I have such a strong volume drop I have to boost it.. running all three in stereo. Am I doing something wrong; it’s a worship rig and it’s the only time I’ve experienced this.
There are a few things that could cause this (line level/instrument level setting, out of phase audio feeding the Cloudburst in stereo, which would leave the dry alone but reduce the volume of the wet, etc), so the best thing to do is send an email to support@strymon.net and we'll get you sorted out. Hope that helps!
So I haven’t used an amp sim like the iridium much before. Do you have it set first in the chain most of the time? Would think the “amp” would come last
Great question, Cort! Matt here, the demonstrator for this video. More often the amp and cab emulator goes last in chain, or near the end, with reverbs and delays after it. If you use high gain tones with the amp sim and it's last in chain, it will saturate the delay repeats and reverb tails to some extent, which can be cool sometimes but may not always be what you are looking for. Also the cab emulation will limit the frequency range according to whatever is the available range of speaker being modeled, which is often fine. But since the stuff that Cloudburst and its Ensemble effect are doing is full range, in these examples I opted to put all that after Iridium.
@@mikemorrisonmusic haha, I'm in the same boat, I have the BigSky but keep lusting for the CloudBurst! 🤦♂And then I consider the price and look at the NightSky and think for $150 more it would be a better purchase for me because it would give me more of something I don't already have. And then I remind myself I'm in the process of selling gear to get out of debt and to stop tempting myself with new purchases I can't really afford and walk away. And then next week I'll be back to repeat the process! 🙄🤭😅
Why dont you do a reverb pedal the same size as the Cloudburst with just standard reverb minus, shimmer and ensamble. Most of us dont care for these big sound scapes and your Big sky and Blue sky are to big. So if you have to limit the reverbs thats fine. We would rather a great limited reverb at 279 than over 300 and a giant pedal.
Understood on the request - you might want to go play a Cloudburst anyway, because the reverb algorithm was tweaked to be REALLY good at both short and tight verb sounds, as well as the big soundscapes. You don't need to enable Ensemble if you don't want to, and it's a really versatile pedal sonically.
@@strymon Sorry already tried it and it's still to ambient you have to go really short and it's not worth it to be tied to one setting. Would be nice to see a smaller Bluesky with maybe a hall instead of room. Something with the small form factor.
Hi Marcus! When blueSky is set to Spring mode, the Shimmer knob can be used to create an intriguing octave-down pitch effect with a variable LFO rate. In the example we hear Cloudburst adding its Ensemble effect to this (the string synthesizer style sound), and we hear blueSky's LFO at three different speeds (that is the octave down tremolo effect you hear). Hope that makes sense! :)
Combos sound great. Super inspiring and thanks for sharing these. Loving 7:04
Thanks Huston!!
Brilliant thanks for adding these combinations to get inspired
Currently have my Cloudburst sitting between the El Cap and The Flint. Lots of possibilities!
Wow! Cloudburst is my next pedal!
I can't wait to pair this with my Dig and so many other pedals. 🤘❤
Waiting for my Cloudburst to come in tomorrow. I’m really excited to try it.
Just amazing pedals and when combined........
very instructive
Great video!
Sweet ,great pedals

This is so awesome! 🎸🔊
Amazing!!
Sounds amazing!!
I'm sorry but Lex stole the show!

Are the intro and outro tracks available anywhere? Reminds me of a band called Pinkshinyultrablast
Yes! Intro and outro are both part of the same track: mattpiper.bandcamp.com/track/through-the-clouds-into-the-stars
What order are these chained in? Left to right?
Great question! Signal flow in all examples is right to left. Just added that to the video description. Thanks!
@@strymon Ah. OK. Makes more sense now. Left to right would have been the opposite of how I run it, so good to know.👍🏼

Vixe!
Signal's flowing left to right, or right to left on these? From the description it appears like it's right to left.

When are you releasing your effects as plugins to use in a computer or iPad?
Thanks for this question, Alex! BigSky IS available as a plugin right now. You can check it out by downloading a free trial here: www.strymon.net/product/bigsky-plugin/
@@strymon But how come you can't sell software to residents outside of U.S.A.?, that's what it says on that page!

Why do you do this to me Strymon, why????
Earth to mate, earth to mate, calm down, GAS!!!!
If you own some strymons you are fine for sure
@@marcusstrymon693 I do, I even own a Big Sky, but I want the Cloudburst!
@@OverJam52 but you already have the sounds!
@@mikemorrisonmusic I need the Ensemble mode!

@@strymon Wow, I am impressed. I will try to get close to that with combining nightsky, bigsky cloud and mobius tremolo
is the Ensemble being reved/moded by the Blue SKy? My ears aren't sure whats going on. @@strymon
Not very different than what can be done with Tera Echo, and it´s only one pedal. Stay well.
Lmfao. I’ve had the Tera Echo by itself and within the DD-200…it absolutely cannot do most of what is being done in this video. 😂
P.S. I nearly lost my mind today wondering what will happen when I combine the Cloudburst with the Hologram Electronics Microcosm!?
